CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 30, 2021
IT ALWAYS HAPPENS THIS WAY. WHEN THEY HAVE A MAJORITY, DEMOCRATS PROPOSE MASSIVE NEW
SPENDING, ALONG WITH TAX INCREASES AND REPUBLICANS GO ALONG. IT NEVER WORKS THE OTHER WAY.
17 SENATE REPUBLICANS JOINED ALL SENATE DEMOCRATS IN PASSING A MASSIVE $1 TRILLION SO-
CALLED “INFRASTRUCTURE” BILL. BY THE TIME THE HOUSE GETS IT, THE MEASURE WILL BE LOADED WITH
MORE SPENDING AND EVEN MORE PORK. THE MEDIA WILL HELP SELL IT TO THE IGNORANT AMONG US.
SOME REPUBLICANS COMPLAINED THE BILL HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETELY WRITTEN AND THEY HAD
LITTLE TIME TO READ IT. THAT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, BUT POLITICIANS GET AROUND ANY
REGULATIONS.
AS DAN HENNINGER WROTE IN YESTERDAY’S WALL STREET
JOURNAL, “I THINK THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS…BORED, CONFUSED OR SHOCKED AT THE REST OF THE
SPRAWLING BIDEN LEGISLATIVE AGENDA. IF YOU ASK PEOPLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT’S IN THE AMERICAN
FAMILIES PLAN THEY’D SAY THEY AREN’T SURE, THOUGH THEY HEAR IT WILL COST SOMETHING LIKE $3
TRILLION OR $4 TRILLION, WHICH SEEMS LIKE ‘A LOT OF SPENDING.’”
INDEED AND THERE WILL BE MORE SPENDING OF MONEY WE DON’T HAVE TO BUY VOTES. I’M CAL THOMAS.
